Title CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EMPYEMA OF THE URETERAL STUMP

Step-by-Step robotic heminephrectomy for duplicated renal collecting system.

INTRODUCTION A duplicated renal collecting system is a relatively common congenital anomaly rarely presenting in adults. AIM In this video we demonstrate our step-by-step technique of Robotic heminephrectomy in a patient with non-functioning upper pole moiety. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following cystoscopy and ureteral catheter insertion the patient was placed in 60° modified flank position wit...

Emphysematous pyelonephritis caused by Bacteroides fragilis.

A 50-year-old male presented with fever and anorexia of 2 days’ duration and a 3-week history of abdominal fullness. Two years earlier, he had left-sided acute pyelonephritis, incomplete duplicated ureters and a ureteral stone. The stone was removed. He also had hypertension, gout, and chronic renal failure with a serum creatinine 3.1mg/dl. Examination of the abdomen revealed a palpable mass wi...

The role of refluxing distal ureteral stumps after nephrectomy.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Classically, the refluxing distal ureteral stump has been removed during the nephrectomy by the means of an incision on the flank and lower abdominal wall. There are little data in the literature about the natural history of these stumps. In the current work the authors evaluated possible complications affecting the ureteral stump after total or partial nephrectomy for vesico...
